Speaking of YouTube movie reviewers past their prime, did y'all know the Nostalgia Critic is still making videos? I learned that a few weeks ago, and it's wild to see how gray this man's beard has gotten after nearly 20 years of ranting about Batman movies.

Can’t help but wonder if this might push Jeremy Jahns into a right wing grifter. Doesn’t seem like he is very online though so maybe not?
I mean if he wanted to be a Quartering-style dude, he would have been one by now? From what I've seen, albeit as somebody who hasn't watched a video of his in ages (didn't even know he was still making reviews tbh), he just quietly does his own thing reviewing whatever new geek movie is out. Closest thing to the usual right wing schtick these YouTubers do is saying the new Star Wars shows suck, but that's not really anything all too damning lol

Is there anyway to set up a camera to record her reaction? This is one movie which I’m dying to see reactions from people that are expecting some kind of Demi Moore movie.
Well she knows it has a body horror thing going on, so she's not totally blind. And she does like "weird movies", especially if they won awards and have a good, feminist message she likes (Shape of Water, Poor Things). So hey! She'll probably like this, even when it gets to weirdo territory...I hope.

lol my mom told me she wanted to see this with me because she's a big Demi Moore fan. Which like...valid, but um...I hope she's okay with the supposed insanity that unfolds.

Man… you might be right. Actually it might last until at least next March. Transformers and Wild Robot are in the top ten and carry on until Moana, then Moana probably stays in the top ten until Mufasa, Mufasa stays until Dogman in January 2025, then The Smurfs Movie in February 2025, then I can’t remember what is being released for animation in March
Shockingly nothing. In fact, the next animated movie after Smurfs is Elio in June. There's still stuff like Snow White and Minecraft in the spring, so it's not as dire for PG kids stuff as it was last spring, but it is still very weird how kids movies either get all crammed together one moment, then there's a massive dry spell right after. What's going on over there?

Moderation
@justnumbers this strawmanning and antagonizing of other users is very disrespectful and very unnecessary. If you continue this mean behavior, you will leave me with no other choice but to give you a threadban.

Did Dealine really say Speak No Evil feels arthouse because it's set in the UK? 😅
Has the stupidity of the average American moviegoer really reached that level, or is Deadline losing it?
Yes.

Saturday update. Must be some really good holds down-box-office if Deadline's anticipating a $100mil+ weekend
Box Office: 'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' Looking At $50M Second Weekend (deadline.com)
SATURDAY AM: Refresh for more …and chart…The second weekend of September looks to jump past $100M for the first time since pre-Covid 2019 thanks to Warner Bros’ Beetlejuice Beetlejuice rally at the box office, set for a second $50M weekend after a second Friday of $14.4M.
This weekend is 61% ahead of a year ago when New Line’s Nun II battled through the actors strikes when casts weren’t permitted to promote. Back in 2019 at this time, New Line’s It: Chapter Two during its second frame drove a marketplace that counted $110.8M per Box Office Mojo.
This blurb is making my head hurt. Like…what?

As we told you yesterday, Blumhouse/Universal’s Speak No Evil is coming in ahead of forecasts with $12.3M after a $4.9M Friday. This movie in its essence feels arthouse with its UK setting, and dialogue driven quiet thriller narrative. -

This conversation reminds me of when the guy who made Oogieloves threw shade at Pixar in an interview and was out here saying Up should have been rated R because it was too sad and violent. If a Transformers or Dreamworks movie is too dark or intense for today's kids, I think we got a bigger problem on our hands lol

I said nearly 20 years. Doug started Nostalgia Critic back in 2007. We're a lot closer to 2027 than you might think. And that is terrifying.
